ness the result of challenge sent by Emilio
Carrea, director Of the Military acadamy at
Guatemala, to Senior Ordonez, the Spanish
minister at that place. The particulars of
the affair, which reached this city through
private sources yesterday, are that the Or
donez family have been interfering in the
politics of the republic, and that as the re-
suit OF this the ladies of the Ordonez and

minated in the challenge. Minister Ordonez

The governments reply at last accounts had
not been received. Both the principals are
men of mdoubted courage.

Tho SIeGarlgle ExtraditIon.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE application
Of the governor Of Illinois for the extradi-
tion of McGarigle, the fugitive Chicago ex-
warden, which has been received at the de-
partment of state, will be reserved for the
personal consideration of Secretary Bayard,
when he returns to the city. AS a rule, ac-
tion upon applications for extradition papers
is purely formal, the preliminaries to grant
ing the request consisting merely in an ex-
animation of extradition treaties, to ascer.
tain IL the offense charged falls within their
term. But it is understood that in the pres
ent case the application is based upon
charge Of conspiracy, for which no pro-
vision is made in the existing treaty with
Canada. A legal point of gravity is in
volved in the application, and its considera-
ton may therefore occupy some time.

MOBILE, Ala, Sept. 13.-The schooner
Ellis Curtis, flying the British Sag, was
seized Saturday at Scranton, Miss, under
libel by z. E. Layton, of Baltimore, who
claims to be her owner. He states that the
schooner was condemned and sold at Blue
fields, Nicaragua, in November 1885, by
collusion between the captain and the
American consul at Bluefelds. He heard of
the vessel in August last as having sailed
from Grand Cayman for Mobile with fruit.
Having seized the vessel, he finds no damage
whatever to the hull, and no signs that the
vessel was ever in such condition as to au-
thorize her condemnation, She has an
American register and tonnage. Layton
says he has been defrauded Of several thous-
ands heretofore in the same way, only a
portion of which is represented by the vessel
now in the United States marshal's posses-

in the cross.examination OF Leavitt and in

nifty was made, and the state offered to let
a certified copy Of the statement go in evi-

WASHINGTON, Sept. IA, The Washington
correspondent Of the Baltimore Sun writes
that various theories have been advanced as
to the cause of ex-Assistant Secretary of
State Porter's withdrawal, but it is probable
that none of them have correctly stated the
situation The most plausible explanation
given, and the one generally accepted in
administration circles is that Secretary
Bayard, who has been carrying on fisheries
negotiations single-handed, so far as his
official associates are concerned, became
greatly irritated on seeing Governor Por-
ter's published statements contradicting the
position which he, the secretary, had as
sumed. In the Interview which followed
between the secretary and his first assistant
the latter, it is said, considered tn at his con-
duct was impugned by certain remarks Of
the secretary, whereupon he Immediately
determined to sever his connection with the
state department
